Yes. I dont like it very much though. That song isnt that old. the oldest stuff I listen too besides the occasional classical song is like Glen Miller and stuff. And DooWop!! Awesome music. ^^ I listen to all types.
OMG, me too! I love big band music! Great music to swing to (that's a dance folks! No not into the other!) and Hubby and I love to dance! I also like Doo-wop but some of my favorite music are the old torch songs that came out of the WWI & II era. Some are just plain silly, like "Cheek to Cheek" and "3 Little Fishies (Swam Over the Dam)" but most are "Torch Songs" like "At Last," which I have performed a lot (way before Beyonce remade it but she did a good job on it) and "I'll Be Seeing You". Great, great, songs but way before my time. In fact a lot of music that I like is before my parents time!
I asked my Dad once why so many great songs came out of such a sad era and he said it was because so many folks were separated from their loves ones that they needed the romantic songs to feel close to them and they needed the silly songs to distract them and lift them up a little. It seems like when we have it easy we get spoiled and it's reflected in our music.
Okay, I know Cheek to Cheek, and I
might know I'll be seeing you, but youve got me on the other ones.
I dont know how to dance to any of it, so I just make it up. Its fun music, you have to dance.
I really love Celtic and Irish music too. And I think your dad it right about that, I mean, look at blues music. Its a great genre and a lot of the songs arent the best pick-me-ups, but theyre still really good.
Sheryl, awesome about Bella!! Considering how she was a week ago, I really think she's gonna make it.
And just to warn you, if you throw a Super bowl party like that this year, expect me there, I will be gate crashing. ^^
